Delhi Political Landscape: Mohan Singh Bisht Tapped for Deputy Speaker Role

Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta is set to propose BJP MLA Mohan Singh Bisht as the deputy speaker of the Delhi Assembly. Veteran leader Bisht, a six-time MLA, secured his Mustafabad assembly seat by defeating AAP's candidate. The Assembly session will also address the CAG report on liquor regulation.

Delhi is poised for a significant political appointment as Chief Minister Rekha Gupta will put forward the name of BJP MLA Mohan Singh Bisht for the deputy speaker position of the Delhi Assembly on February 27. The decision comes during the third day of the current session.

With no competition for the post, Bisht's election seems assured. The procedural scenario will unfold through two motions; the first proposed by CM Gupta and endorsed by Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa, while the second is set forth by MLA Anil Kumar Sharma with support from Gajender Singh Yadav.

Bisht, a seasoned political figure, recently claimed the Mustafabad assembly constituency with a substantial margin, reinforcing his long-standing presence in Delhi's legislative arena. Besides the appointment, the Assembly will delve into discussions under Rule 280 and critically evaluate the Comptroller and Auditor General's report on Delhi's liquor supply.
